Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer wants AC Milan to increase their contract offer by another €1 million before he accepts the deal and stays, a report claims.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, there is an offer on the table for Bennacer to renew his contract and be paid €3 million per season. The midfielder does not want to accept that figure though and would like at least €4 million.
He currently earns €1.7 million per season but is a much more important player than when he first signed that deal. There is also a lot of interest in him from wealthy sides which improves his bargaining position.
It is reported that both Manchester United and Liverpool in the Premier League were very keen on signing him last summer but Milan were not concerned as the €50 million release clause had expired, so a deal would need to be done.
Bennacer recently changed agents to join Enzo Raiola, the cousin of the late Mino Raiola.
